So... go to my local Chinese chippy with my dog on the lead... Obtain a small portion of chips for £1.00 (approx $1.50). You will notice that a "small" portion of proper chips is considerably larger than any yanktard McFaggot "French Fries" portion.

Here is a typical northern England portion of chips for £1. Salt and Vinegar included.

>>4304566
British chippies are so cheap. You can get like eight pounds of potatoes fried up for under three pounds.

drop the american bashing, its not clever or funny
west midlands here btw i just think you sound like a cunt

Ok, I could have had the nice Chinese lady make me proper northern UK chippy gravy, but that stuff is really thick and meaty, and from what I hear Poutine has a light gravy.

The nearest shite tier gravy is Bisto - it is really mild and also overpriced. It was also in my cupboard, I prefer Aldi Quixo myself.

Now the cheese - the Lumberjacks insist on fresh curd. Ok, I could make a batch by adding lemon juice to milk and boiling it up (which I have certainly done to use up cheap milk), but for convenience I could use Cottage Cheese or Feta (or rather cheap "Salad Cheese") - It's basically curds still swimming in a bit of whey.

>>4304586
>calls america fat
>"look at all this fat greasy food i can stuff my hang-tooth ridden mouth with for 1 dollar"

Stay pleb, yurop

In all its glory - proper chips, chopped up "Feta", and Bisto gravy

>>4304614

aaaaaaaand everyone laughs at you

Cos I am a Britfag I have to add more salt and vinegar on top of what the Chinese chippy girl gave me. This is a fact of life.

Belgian fags would add Mayo, and Amerifats would chuck in loads of ketchup I imagine.

>>4304614

>Bisto
>feta

You fucked up big time

I ate chips cheese (cheddar) and gravy for lunch at school for years (britfag here). My sides when I found out it was someones national dish!

The delicious finished Poutine.

I have to say I was not impressed - I prefer proper chippy gravy or better yet chinese chippy curry sauce (the Goldfish brand is the ultimate).

It was edible, but dissapointing considering all the yank and canadfags blowing it out of all proportion to what it is.

>>4304647

>this fucking thread

>Getting your chips from the Chinese


What sort of semen-gargling lowlife pleb scum are you? Go to a real British chippy, the chips they have in Chinese places taste like fucking trash

Americans don't rave about poutine. No one here eats it unless they are former canucks. Even then - maybe. Personally, I've never even seen poutine outside of pictures on the internet in my 25 years of dining out.

>>4304626
NO. NO. FUCKING. FETA.
YOU DID IT ALL WRONG.

It would have been better to have made some homemade curds yourself, than to use Feta. Nope. Nope. Nope. And cheap thin gravy mix is wrong too.
No wonder you don't think it's worth anything, you completely dicked it up.

As the typical portion of chippy chips in the north of England is fucking massive, I couldn't finish it - so it's waiting in the microwave for me to finish my 2 cans of Carlsberg Special Brew and make room for it before bed time.

As a Canadian, and an Acadian, I must warn you that a truly good poutine is in the gravy. Once you're dealing with fresh cut fries (none of that frozen shit will make a decent poutine), it doesn't matter how perfect the fries are since they'll only get limp with the gravy. Same with the cheese (except melting, not soggy), although if you're going for authenticity, you really want as fresh of a cheese curd as you can get. Also, goat cheese curds are how they do it in Gaspé (maybe elsewhere too, but I wouldn't know), and the extra "squeak" you get with goat cheese means better texture once the gravy is doing it's job. Anyway, the only thing that really varies among good poutines is the gravy, so make sure you take the time to make a good one. And a touch of acidic is better in my opinion, so a tiny amount of tomato juice while you're cooking it is advised, if you're willing to gamble on it.

>>4304654
Incorrect. They usually do a decent job of making decent steak cut style chips. (providing they're not one of those chinese-chippy hybrid places)

>>4304625
So much butthurt.

Old cold fries. Tons of vinegar. Tons of salt. Shitty gravy. Wrong kind of cheese.

I really hope you didn't put a lot of thought and planning into this.

OP no you've done it all wrong

>>4304681
>So little originality in trying to insult.

It's like you shut off your brain.

>>4304656
Typical Canadian reaction when you find out that other people don't think poutine is as amazing as you think it is.

>>4304700
I don't really need to put a lot of effort when you're crying over something. Just pointing it out is ok with me.

>>4304712

Am I being coaxed into a snafu?

>>4304695
I was just taking my dog for a walk to get some spesh from the offie and I was peckish and fancied some chips. I normally make up Goldfish hot curry sauce and add some chilli powder which is fucking ace, but making poutine struck me as an easy as fuck option.

(Besides, my cupboard is out of Goldfish and I have to go to chinatown to get it. My chinky curry is not as good - I think they use shit like Maykway)

OP yo are a dumb nigger faggot. You cant go buy some fries, open a tub of feta & dump pre made gravy on the shit & expect to call it poutine. What you made is bastardized shit. Real poutine kicks your gay ass. Go back to eating bangers & mash or some dumb crap.

>>4305037
Yet somehow any old greasy fucker in a burger or chip van makes it like something Chef Ramsay would serve in his 5 star restaurant.

Sorry - but I think my "poutine" is about as genuine as the regular shit your immigrants in canuckia slop up to you at 2am from a shitty roadside van.

>>4305054

No it isn't first of all you didn't use cheese curds, 2nd you didn't make the gravy. You suck & fail. For the record I'm from the US

>>4305075
Hahahaha... Do you really think immigrants in roadside vans make their own cheese curds and whey? and then actually make a real gravy from stock (bones and all with a nice wine reduction), then serve it in a fucking shit polystyrene cup with a plastic fork?

What fucking planet are you on?

They use exactly the same shit "curds" as OP did, and the same shit gravy, only cheaper stuff than Bisto which is a premium product. They will use a boullion mass produced for the catering industry.

>>4304745
Do you buy from Wing Yip, by any chance?

>>4304586

looks so much better than typical amerifries

>>4305094
>Implying there isn't a difference between feta and mozzarella curds

>>4304614
So you'll make this monstrosity, come back and then claim that poutine is pig disgusting and can't understand what everyone is on about... But you're doing it fucking wrong.

> they are proper chips, like UK Chinese chippy chips
you wot m8

>>4304647
I hope you're just an elaborate troll and aren't being serious.

>this whole thread

/k/anuck visiting here, this thread made me smile

I have poutine a couple times a year. its pretty good, but good good is it unhealthy. In terms of Canadian comestibles I much prefer an old fashioned lobster roll. Shame that you have to go all the way over to the dingy provinces to get good ones though

I would give you a 0/10 but this thread is full of rage

US master race REPORTING IN.

Bought 3 pounds of fries for 1.34 BRITISH POUNDS. $2.

Get rekt you cunt.

>>4304665
>shit fries
>goat cheese
>tomato juice in gravy
nigger its not stew, make proper fries and use mozza like the rest of canada
>greasy roadside quebec poutine is best potine
god damn it, we have a poutine specialty restaurant here in fredericton I need to hit up soon, havent had one in ages

>>4306149
>use mozza like the rest of canada
NO
NO
NO

only a first generation immigrant would think to use mozzarella instead of curd

>>4306153
curd and mozza are the same thing you faggot, one is just not melted into balls

>>4306157
they are NOT the same thing you mouthbreather, christ. mozzarella is a CHEESE. it MELTS and turns the poutine into disco fries.

My boyfriend is nuts about this shit, we go to this tiny Canadian ice cream place way out of the way just to get it. I don't like cheese, let alone curds, so I don't really see the appeal, but it's apparently very tasty.
I think it was just thick french fries, brown gravy (like the packets of shitty brown gravy) and mozzarella curds. It was very hot but the curds weren't goopy melty all over the place.
I hope this helped somewhat

>>4306161
>cheese curds dont melt because they arent cheese
this is literally what you just wrote
>pic related, it's you

>>4306168
curd is proto cheese. you process it INTO cheese.

if it is fresh curd it is squeaky when you bite it and won't melt in the poutine, which is the ideal.

>>4304625
you misspelled UK

>>4304586
>>4304638

vinegar?...

>>4304554
Poutine is just our chips, cheese and beans with a single component changed. How those faux frogs can claim it as some deep cultural artifact and ORIGINAL IDEA TO NOT STEAL is beyond me.

>>4306199
Yes vinegar. What sort of third world place doesn't put salt and vinegar on their chips?

Wisconsin here. Some bars in the bigger cities have poutine and it's fucking delicious. I make my own ghetto version at home that does the trick. We have good cheese curds which is the most important part to me.

>>4304660

"Chinese chippy chips"

Or as everywhere else in the UK that I've been calls them "chips"

What tard factory are you from?

>>4306393
He's clearly some inbred northerner. I wouldn't expect too much from him.

New Yorker who used to live in Montreal reporting in. In Montreal poutine was always seen as a lowbrow overkill dish French-Canadians would indulge in during the winter. It's served at hot dog joints. As another poster mentioned, the gravy and cheese curds are very particular, resulting in the flavor of regular poutine. Some of the variations include poutine hiot dog (cut up steamed hot dog added) and poutine Michigan (substitute canned meat tomato pasta sauce for gravy).

I don't consider poutine a dish worth seeking out. I think it's caught people's interest because it's so over the top and Montreal has been getting some press lately for its food scene.

If you want a taste of what's good in Montreal try their bagels or their smoked meat (kind of like pastrami). If you want a taste of lowbrow Montreal deliciousness Habitant pea soup, a shish taouk sandwich or a slice of tourtiere (meat pie) would be better than poutine.

But the stuff has become popular, regardless. There's even a poutine joint in NYC now, though it's hasn't been quite as warmly welcomed as the Montreal bagel and smoked meat joints.

Very satisfying when eaten with cheap steamed hotdogs.

As a canadian fag, POUTINE IS FUCKING AMAZING

>>4306439
seconded

>>4306594
They're American. What did you expect

>>4306618
Not really. It's sad that Canadians are proud of such a dull dish.

>inb4 never had poutine
I've had it plenty of times around Quebec and Ontario I even get it from time to time it's on a menu in the US

>>4306529
It was an unfair generalisation. I apologise.
OP is clearly braindead, but it was wrong of me to associate all northerners with him.

Detroit fag here
I've had it a few times in Canada and it is amazing

depends, I've had some that are amazing, but most are barely mediocre

>>4306208

do you britfaggots put vinegar on everything? jesus how shitty is the food

Salt & Vinegar on chips if fucking amazing, i cant think of a single other thing i put it on though

>>4304554
wheres my Chippy?


theres my chippy

if i have to hear the word "chippy" again, I'm gonna punch you in those rotted fence posts you call teeth...

>>4306429
Don't feel bad, anon. I've been to almost 40 different countries in my life, and people from the Maritimes have been the nicest overall by far. EVERYONE there is so nice

>>4305054

Why do you think that most Canadian poutine is served in roadside vans? Sure there are a few...I live in Toronto and can only think of 3 food trucks that do this. 2 are in front of the U of T library and the other is in front of Air Canada Center. They are horrible. Most people not exiting a sporting event or grabbing cheep food between classes eat poutine made with fresh cut fries, real gravy, and fresh cheddar curds. Other toppings are added at "fancy" places, like pulled pork, bacon, roast beef, etc.

Congrats OP you made poutine of lower quality than an unpopular cheepo food truck.

>>4306422

In NYC the only place I can think of that serves poutine is Pommes Frites at 7th and St. Marks...I would hardly call that poutine place. It's more a Belgian place with poutine as an option.

>>4306669

>If you like what I don't you are a bad person

>>4304638
Nope american here...
Would add ground beef with a side of mayo.

>>4304566
did they eat ur dog? LOLXD

>>4304554
its salty, greasy, cheese.. with french fries. Drink 5 pints then think about what you want.

I grew up in toronto and we have always had poutine and its really nto a big deal. Its like nachos and cheese or "irish nachos". Another drunk food.

>>4306148
I haven't been to five guys in ages, Ill head there tomorrow and be fat.

>>4306764
Wow, what a reasonable bro you are.

It is killer, you need 0 day curds and good fries if you want to make it yourself. Otherwise The Main in MTL serves some legit poutine.

>not having hot pastrami
>not putting all pastrami that falls out of sandwich onto chili cheese fries
>not having pastrami chili cheese fries

plebs.

Nope.

Why do you have such a grudge against french fries? Just stick to talking about poutine.

>>4304638
Americans are 50/50 on ketchup, or any condiment at all other than salt on their fries.

>>4304655
People that frequent message boards, or watch food television know about it. It's usually on the list of things to experiment with at home ala the OP, just not in such an obviously homosex way.

Good poutine is
1. good gravy. Not to much
2. crispy fries
3. Cheddar cheese curds

I went to montral for a month to visit my bro
I went to some of the best poutine places in montreal and the thing that varies most is the fries.
cheese curds all taste the same
some places like Patati Patata have nice thin crispy fries and chez claudette in montral has sweet roasted potatoes
but I swear they all have the same bland gravy.
So I went to the market for some curds and potatoes and my bro made gravy with mushrooms and onions and lots of fresh pepper.

Fuck now I crave schwartz smoked meat

>>4307856
>year of the snake
>worrying about looks

ok spainfag here

we don't even have a word for cheese curds, so can someone tell me what kind of cheese or cheese product can be a good substitute?
I mean, we have imported american products on certain shops but I don't think they would import cheese curds here.
If you answer me I promise I won't fry my potatoes in olive oil

I have never, ever, ever, ever, never, not once seen an Amerifat "rave" about poutine.

If anything, we ridicule our Canuckistani cousins for their weird taste in food.

>>4304660
Just eat some, then stick your finger down your throat to make room for the rest.

wtf are you talking about?

>>4306895
Brit here. Only special needs kids say chippy. The same people also refer to some drinks as 'pop'

They deserve to die.

>>4308721

He's trolling americans by insulting them.

>>4308709
Queso blanco is probably an ok substitute or some chunks of fresh mozzarella if you can get that

>>4308824
I say chippy. I never say pop. I call it what it is, vimto, fizzy vimto, dandelion and burdock, ribena, fanta, coke etc. If it's called pop, like panda pop, I still call it by flavour, American cream soda, cherry aid etc. So take your generalisations elsewhere.

>>4308878
Since when was calling fries overpriced an insult to Americans? You guys must be really insecure and defensive, holy fuck lol.

>>4304554
>Amerifats and Canadians
>not giving Canadians an equally insulting nickname

Get out.
